"All the enemy ships have been captured, there is no resistance, and the prisoners have been concentrated in the cargo hold of the battleship!" In a short time, the Imperial fleet received a reply from the Marines.

The 18,000 warships of the Imperial fleet escorted the 100,000 Federation ships back to the forward base.

For some time to come, the Empire's main fleet will go out to harass the Federation's colonies.

The captured ships were sent to the shipyard for repair, and the unnecessary equipment was removed and used as landing ships and ground support ships for the Imperial fleet.

After this battle, the Imperial Fleet did not lose any warships, but greatly increased the number of warships in its own fleet.

Supply lines, which had been somewhat strained, have also become looser, and the number of troops that the Empire can throw on the planet's surface has become larger per campaign.

With more landing ships, the Imperial fleet can finally let go.

The main forces of the Empire began to frantically engage in blitzkriegs, destroying the defenses and space stations in this star system with direct artillery bombardment from a distance on each planet they passed.

Immediately after that, having destroyed all the units in the opponent's orbits, the artillery bombardment of important military facilities on the ground will begin.

Once all apparently observable Federation military installations have been destroyed, the Imperial fleet will set sail again and head for the next star system.

The whole process won't take more than two days! In two days, the Imperial fleet will be out of the battle and head to the next star system.

In this way, counting the flight time on the road, the Empire can wipe out all the Federation fleets and space stations in a star system on average every three days.

At this time, these warships captured by the Empire will carry tens of millions of clone soldiers and millions of mecha chariots to land on these planets.

With 10 million well-equipped clone soldiers, supported by mecha chariots and warships in orbit, it can be said that no one can stop them.

Every time the Federation managed to organize a counterattack, it would be blown to pieces by railguns from Imperial warships hovering in orbit.

Not only that, but the Empire has also deployed a large number of piercing drones on these planets.

Piercing drones with a streamlined design and anti-gravity engines and gravitational engines are still able to maintain extremely high combat effectiveness in the atmosphere, and their maneuverability is no weaker than in the cosmic vacuum environment.

These piercing drones are not equipped with cannons or missiles, and they simply use themselves as missiles to launch collision attacks on Federation warplanes.

Its hot melt armor that melted through the ship's armor easily melted through the thin armor of these planes.

Their nimble bodies and outer shields allow them to easily get through the distance before they get close to enemy ships.

Moreover, the Empire's piercing drones are never a single operation, and the low construction cost allows such drones to be installed on a large scale.

Piercing drones that appear on the battlefield are often several times more numerous than enemy fighters.

As long as the swarm of black crushing drones presses in front of the enemy's fighter formation, no fighter will be spared.

Moreover, this drone can not only conduct air combat, but after the Empire's transportation force is abundant, this drone is transported in large quantities to the planets that need to be captured.

This drone can use gravitational acceleration to hit the top of the enemy's armored unit with weak defense, directly penetrating the enemy's armored unit.

And because the anti-gravity engines used by these drones can ignore direction, these piercing drones can also fly backwards out of the wreckage of enemy armored units and continue to the next target.

Swarms of piercing drone swarms can now be seen on the battlefields of various planets, and wherever there is a suspicious target, these drone swarms will swarm and turn the opponent into a pile of ashes.

With the help of drones and orbital support, the Empire was soon able to capture a large number of the Federation's colonies.

Basically, as soon as the Imperial fleet leaves, the Hind Landing Fleet will arrive and begin to occupy the planet.

When the Imperial fleet eliminated the Federation warships, space stations, and military bases in the next star system, the Imperial landing force almost completed the occupation of the planet, and rushed towards the star system that had just been cleared by the Imperial fleet.

In just one month, the Federation has lost fifteen colonies, and the resources in these colonies have greatly increased the power of the Imperial fleet.

The transports captured from these planets liberated those warships captured by the Empire.

This allows these ships to join the battle, disrupting the enemy's formation from the flank, and giving the main force of the Empire a chance to take advantage of it.

At the end of a month, the third Imperial fleet teleported into the river system.

This time, the Imperial fleet is still 8,000 unmanned Zeus-class warships and 2,000 large transport ships full of supplies and equipment.

After this addition, the number of the Empire's main fleet in this river system has reached twenty-six thousand!

The 8,000 new ships were grouped into a single group to join the first group in a surprise assault on the Federation's star system.

The Empire's combat efficiency has increased in vain, and the Federation is losing colonies faster and faster.

At this time, the inferior nature of this multi-civilization composition as a whole is revealed.

Since these member states are still independent polities, these people do not have enough sense of crisis about the invasion of other member states.

They felt that they were not invaded anyway, and if they lost the colony star, they would lose the colony star, and by the way, they could weaken the power of this civilization.

In this state of mind, although various civilizations are mobilizing fleets, the speed of mobilizing fleets is pitifully slow.

Soon, the fleet of this member country began to be unable to support it, and they directly abandoned the various colonies to fight to the death with the imperial fleet.

More than 800,000 capital warships and more than two million warships of various types gathered in the opposing capital's star system.

Of course, their intention to fight a decisive battle is unilaterally speculated by the Empire, but in fact, this civilization only wants to keep the capital star system and wait for the rescue of the other member states of the Federation.

After misunderstanding their meaning, the Empire directly gathered 20,000 Zeus-class warships and rushed to their capital star system.

The remaining 6,000 Zeus-class ships were captured by the Empire and went to the colony that had been abandoned by this civilization to occupy it.

Twenty thousand Imperial warships soon arrived in the star system, the capital of this civilization.

Unlike other star systems, as the most important political and economic center of this civilization, the opposing side has deployed a large number of fortresses and unmanned artillery batteries in the capital star system!
